OVERCOME

You sure you want to be with me? I've nothing to give. Won't lie and say this loving's best Leave us in emotional pace/peace [Hell is an emotional place] Mmm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of rest. Don't wanna be on top of your list, Monopoly and properly kissed We overcome in 60 seconds with the strength we have together. But for now, emotional ties they stay severed. And when there's trust, there'll be treats, When we funk [fuck] we'll hear beats, Karmacoma...

You and her walking through the suburbs No, not exactly lovers You're a couple, specially when you're body's double. Duplicate and then you wait For the next Kuwait [UWAIT]. Karmacoma. Jamacia Aroma [Jamaica In Roma], Karmacoma.

Ponderosa

The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino The mind's a crowd -- search for the the spaces And turn around time's gone, take ten paces. Been up ahead - can't make head or tale of it I drink till I'm drunk, and I smoke till I'm senseless. You see in black and white, feel in slow motion, I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow. The illusion of confusion is not from where I am sat (Tricky: recycle resemble me) Different levels of the devil's company [Primera.]

They lead us outside, take us out quietly To the cage through the bars You see scars: results of my rage The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino The place where I stand gives way to liquid lino Underneath the weeping willow lies a weeping whino the mind's a crowd -- search for the the spaces And turn around time's gone, I take ten paces. Been up ahead - can't make head or tale of it I drink till I'm drunk, and I smoke till I'm senseless. You see in black and white, feel in slow motion, I drown myself in sorrow, until I wake up tomorrow... (Tricky: The illusion of...until I wake up....)

Black Steel

I got a letter from the government The other day I Opened and read it It said they were suckers They wanted me for the army or whatever Picture me given' a damn -- I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like me and myself Because they never did I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute... It occured to me The suckers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell How long has it been? They got me sittin' in the state pen I gotta get out -- but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor I'm not a fugitive on the run But a brother like me begun -- to be another one Public enemy servin' time -- they drew the line y'all To criticize me some crime -- never the less They could not understand that I'm a Black man And I could never be a veteran On the strength, the situation's unreal I got a raw deal, now I'm lookin for the steel

(Tricky: Many switch in, switch on, switch off (x5)) Nevertheless they cannot understand That I'm a black man, and I could never be a veteran. On the strength of situations, I'm real. I got a raw deal, so I'm lookin' for the steel Lookin for the steel.

Hell is Around the Corner

I stand firm for our soil lick a rock on foil Say reduce me, seduce me, Dress me up as Tootsie [in Stussey]. Hell is round the corner where I shelter. Ism's and schisms, we're living helter skelter [been livin' on a study] If you believe and deceive common sense says shouldn't receive Let me take you down the corridors of my life. And when you walk, do you walk to your preference? No need to answer till I take furthur evidence. I seem to need a reference to get residence. A reference to your preference to say, I'm a good neighbor, I trudge, So judge me for labour, live version of the song. The bond on me ensures [lobotomy] my good behavior The constant strum insures my insanity. Passing the ignorance ensures the struggle for my family We're hungry beware of our appetite. Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight. The kill which I share with my passengers. We take our fill, take our fill, take our fill.

Confused by different memories, Details of Asian remedies Conversations, of what's become of enemies. My brain thinks bomb-like, So I listen he's a calm type. And as I grow, I grow collective. Before the move sit on the perspective. Mr. Quaye [Mr. Kray] lay in the crevice. [Distant cradle in the crevice] And watches from the precipice. Empirial passage. Heat from the sun somedays slowly passes, Until then, you have to live with yourself (x2).

Pumpkin

Aftermath

For one [more poor boy?], there's someone For he for she For one [more poor boy?], there's someone For him, for me

Let me tell you about my mother* For one more... Your eyes resemble mine... How can I be sure In a world that's constantly changing How can I be sure Just when I thought I was winning Just when I thought I could not be stopped Just when I thought I was winning Just when I thought I could not be stopped how can I be sure
